Creamed Comments On The Sunday School Lesson

I'/earned Comments on the Sunday School Lesson. The authority of Jesus. John 2:1-16 for Sunday. January 12 Jesus authority in this lesson h, seen in his handling the situation at the marriage ;n turning water into wine and in Jii« taking command at the temple when cleansing It Vs 1.2. ‘ And the third day there wav a marriage in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there; and I with Jesus and his disciples were rilled to the marriage.” Jesus presence at the marriage makes such a servi<e sacred. Just in the measure that JJecus has a part In a marriage will the home be a sacred place When he is a part to this »i red < on tract. there is no divorce VI. “And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus said. They have no wine ” It was considered a disgrace to run out of wine. Jesus mother apjiealed to her son to give help in thin embarrassment. V I "Jesus salth unto her. Woman. what have I to do with thee? min;- hour iw not yet come." Woman >n Greek is a title of respect. Jesus suppressed self-glorification in his early ministry, so he said.'mine hour is not yet corns." V. 5. "His mother salth unto the servants. Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it." Mary believed In the divine authority of her son. She wa«. the first believer. She set an example of UJiristian practice We 100, need to live such t-aillple* ill keeping with the statement. "What t.e saith. do it." V 6 Ind there Were set there six wat* r pots of stone, after the manner of the teriyiug of the Jew* containing two or three firkins ap:ece." The Jews made much of purifications, washing*, and cleansings but they missed the inner c leansing which was more necessury. V 7. "Jesus aaitii unto them. Fill the waterpots with water And ihey filled them up to the brim.” Jcvom- often stressed the need of cooperation tn this case. VB. “And he saith unto them. Draw out now. and bear unto the governor of the feast And they bare it.” There wen- no questions asked as to how the water was changed to wine The oig thing to Discussion Questions Sunday School Lesson Disc ussion Questions on the Sunday School Uwson.

Why is home reguided a (acred institution? 2 What is the best safeguard against divorces? 3 When did Jesus show that he favored times, of merriment and happiness? 1 Why did Jesus perform miracles? 5 When ought one lie tob-rant and when intolerant? o I Church aS ! lor u I What ran the c hurt he* do to promote world peace?

remember was that It was a miracle. V f*. "And when the ruler of the feast had tasted the water ilia! Was made wine, and knew not whence it was: ibut the servants that drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridge groom.” Here was a happy surprise which the governor could not understand Jesus has many surprise* which produce happiness in the highest sense. V io And saith unto him. Every man at the leginnig doth set forth good wine, and when men have well drunk, th«-n that which w worse; but thou hast kept the good wine till now.” Man's plan Is to have the best first. Christ’s plan is placing the good, better, best in the ascendecy. It is always better farther on In the Christian life with heaven at the end of the road V.ll. This beginning of miracles lid Jesus m Can.i of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory and his <1 triples believed on him Miracles of Jesus are a lest of taith. There is glory in th* faith of believers; so sotne >aint- shout "glory.' V 13 "After thie he went down to Capernaum. he and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples; and they contiued here not many days.” Jesus home was at Capernaum. at least there wa*c his headquarters; it was there he had a little home life with l.ls mother and bn:'her*. There Is no rest like that In a Uhriatlan home such as J««-us had and which he will make when he has a chance. Vs 13 II "And the Jews Passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem and found In the ten.pie those that sole) oxen and sheep and dovos and the changers of money cittitu" J*sus by example would honor God s house. V. 15. ' And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep and the oxen and pour'd out 'he changers money and overthrew tables." Tolerance can not b<> allowed when a thing is wicked. V 16 “And said unto them that Hold doves. Take these things hence; make not my father’s house an house of merchandise." Jesus made God’s house hie house. His children will make God's house their house. us as o'er against that ideal; (2) to give new and *ure directions in a bewildered and confused age, to bring courage and hope to a saddened, heartsick generation: and <3» to make these .wvpirations articulate Then may men’s miud lie focused on the kind of world order which religions envisages as a goal." — o- ——— Lesson Prcyer Lesson prayer: We are grateful for Christian h<dne« in which we were cradled and for ;jte Christian homes adult,, have established.
